I’ve been on the island of Caye Caulker for a month now, and I couldn’t help but notice the CC impacts it had. It compelled me to do a layman CC impact assessment (anecdotal-based) in my free time to understand the challenges faced from the perspective of the the residents. 🧵
My big Sunflower finally opened. The best thing about Farming/Gardening is seeing the beauty that is produced from your hard work and patience. #ProudPlantDad#Farmer
SABOTAGING someone’s PROFESSIONAL CAREER so that it becomes IMPOSSIBLE for them to receive a JOB in their actual field of work because you wanted to CONTROL the NARRATIVE is DIABOLICAL.
After 3 years of tireless work, I finally accomplished my dream of owning a farm. In a post Covid world, I now understand that the only thing we really need to live a fulfilling life on this Earth is food, water and shelter… ‘DUH!’ everything else is just… noise… #Grateful 🙏🏾
4 years ago, I was included in my 1st National document; Belize's 1st BUR to the UNFCCC.
I developed an MRV system (at the time) and authored the Mitigation Chapter (Not credited). I am forever grateful to be a part of Climate Change history for Belize. https://t.co/teb8Y3G9Rw
Understanding GHG emissions is the basis for effective climate change mitigation measures. Even though SIDS in the Caribbean barely contribute to global GHGs, being able to estimate GHGs is a useful skill to have, as we move towards a Net Zero future. #GHGITraining#Grateful 🙏🏽
It's out!
The Executive Director of the #LossAndDamage Fund will play one of the most crucial roles in delivering #ClimateJustice.
We need someone who not only provides strategic leadership but also centres the Fund around the rights of communities and countries, while raising hundreds of billions of dollars to scale up finance to meet their needs.
Please share widely.

Having the ability to predict extreme weather events (such as flooding), is the basis for any good early warning system.
As climate change gets worse, flood mitigation becomes increasingly important for effective adaptation measures for SIDS.

Last month saw another extreme weather milestone with the world’s hottest day on recent record registered on 22 July 🌡️ – yet another indication of the extent to which greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are changing our climate, @WMO reports.

What I'm seeing on my home island, Carriacou, must not become humanity's new normal.
If governments everywhere don’t step up, 8 billion people will be facing this blunt force trauma head on, on a continuous basis.
We need climate action back at the top of political agendas.
